alleged  are  of  sufficient  importance,  they  shall  cause  a  copy

case  upon  such  complaint  and  answer,  or  upon  the  complaint

reported  to  the  Association  for  its  action. 

The  Committee,  of  whom  at  least  five  must  be  present  at  the 
trial  except  that  a  less  number  may  adjourn  from  time  to 
time,  shall  hear  and  decide  the  case  thus  submitted  to  them, 
and  shall  determine  all  questions  of  evidence.

true,  they  shall  so  report  to  the  Association,  with  their  recom- 
3

by  either  party,  may  in  their  discretion  also  report  the  evidence 
taken  or  any  designated  part  thereof. 

The  Association  shall  thereupon  proceed  to  take  svich  action

ber shall  be  expelled  unless  by  the  vote  of  two-thirds  of  the 
members  present  and  voting.

The  LiBKAEY  of  the  Association  now  amounts  to  !),o95  volumes.  It  con- 
tains a  complete  collection  of  the  American  Keports,  including  those  of  the 
Federal  Courts  and  of  all  the  State  Courts ;  also  the  English,  Irish, 
Scotch  and  Canadian  Reports,  with  few  exceptions. 

We  have  also  a  collection  of  foreign  text  books  on  International  law 
(intended  to  include  all  the  standard  writers  on  this  subject),  presented  by 
Mr.  Charles  C.  Beaman,  jr.,  and  which  were  purchased  by  him  in  Paris, 
for  this  purpose,  under  the  advice  of  Hon.  Caleb  Gushing. 

We  have  as  the  gift  of  Mr.  Evabts,  President  of  the  Association,  the 
following  very  valuable  books :  the  British  and  Foreign  State  Papers,  51 
volumes ;  the  publications  of  the  Record  Commission,  128  volumes ; 
Chronicles,  «Skc.,  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  during  the  Middle  Ages,  132 
volumes ;  Cobbett's  Parliamentary  History,  3(5  volumes ;  Hansards  Parlia- 
mentary Debates,  274  volumes ;  and  a  complete  set  of  all  the  documents, 
papers,  etc.,  connected  with  the  Geneva  Arbitration,  31  volumes. 

We  have  also  the  Revised  and  Compiled  general  laws  of  the  respective 
States,  with  session  laws  in  continuation :  the  English  General  Statutes  and 
a  large  number  of  text  books  and  treatises. 

Of  these  books,  (>,  734  volumes  have  been  purchased,  at  a  total  cost  of 
$33,291.54;  and  2,861  volumes,  including  many  of  the  mo.st  valuable, 
have  been  contributed  by  members.  Of  the  actual  cost,  about  one-half, 
viz.,  $16,510.17  has  consisted  of  money  donations  by  members  (including 
the  "Century  Fund"),  and  the  other  half  has  been  appropriated  from  the 
regular  funds  of  the  Association. 

The  Contributions  to  the  ' '  Judiciary  Impeachment  Fund  '  amounted  to 
$29,250,  mostly  given  by  members,  but  including  also  subscriptions  by 
Banks,  and  Insurance  and  Trust  Companies,  and  by  citizens  who  duly 
appreciated  the  importance  of  the  movement  for  reformation  of  the 
Judiciary. 

The  subscriptions  to  the  "Building  Fund,"  for  purchase  of  the  present 
commodious  House  of  the  A.ssociation,  amount  to  $45,070  already  paid  in, 
besides  a  few  hundred  dollars  yet  payable  ;  and  these  donations,  with  the 
proceeds  of  sale  of  our  27th  Street  house,  and  the  funds  previously  accu- 
mulated, have  nearly  paid  for  our  present  building,  the  remaining  debt, 
unprovided  for,  being  less  than  the  cost  of  refitting  the  building.
